Looks like the patch they have in the bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452474
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=310151

I'll give them a bit of time to make their errata, hopefully they won't take 
too long or I'll have to make our own.  But it really looks like they've jumped 
on this one and a fix should be out soon.
